I've heard, but cannot confirm, that the new American Air Flight 137 from DFW to Hong Kong HKG is being sent out with little more than passenger baggage and maybe comat - no freight as the flight simply would probably not have the legs on the westbound run to make it. This sounds quite similar to the issue QF has had with their 744/ERs on DFW-BNE. Can anyone confirm or debunk this?
For the record, DFW-HKG is 8,123 miles (the longest AA flight). QF's DFW-BNE is is 8,303 miles.
